Putri Ariani, the blind teen singer from Indonesia, won Simon Cowell's heart and Golden Buzzer on America's Got Talent, captivating the world with her extraordinary talent.
America's Got Talent is a popular reality show that showcases various talents from singers, dancers, magicians, comedians and more. The show has four judges who can buzz an act if they don't like it or give them a standing ovation if they love it. But there is one special button that can change everything for a contestant: the Golden Buzzer.
The Golden Buzzer is a feature that allows each judge to send one act directly to the live shows, skipping the other rounds of the competition. It is a rare and coveted honor that only a few acts can receive each season. And this year, one of them was Putri Ariani, a 17-year-old blind singer and pianist from Indonesia.
Who is Putri Ariani?
Putri Ariani was born with a condition that left her blind since birth. But she did not let her disability stop her from pursuing her passion for music. She started singing when she was two years old and learned to play the piano by ear. She also writes her own songs and has released an album called Melihat Dengan Hati (Seeing with the Heart).
Putri Ariani has been performing in various competitions and events in Indonesia, such as Indonesia's Got Talent, The Voice Kids Indonesia, and the Asian Para Games 2018. She has also won several awards for her talent and achievements, such as the Anugerah Baiduri in 2016 and the national literacy FLS2N in the same year.
What did she do on America's Got Talent?
Putri Ariani auditioned for America's Got Talent 2023 with her original song called "I'm Here", which she dedicated to her mother who always supports her. She sang and played the piano with such emotion and grace that the audience and the judges were mesmerized by her voice.
Simon Cowell, one of the most notorious judges on the show, was so impressed by Putri Ariani that he asked her to sing another song for him. He said he wanted to hear more of her voice and see what else she could do. Putri Ariani obliged and sang "Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word" by Elton John, which she said was special for Simon.
Her second performance was equally stunning and captivating as the first one. She received a standing ovation from all four judges and the audience. Simon Cowell then walked up to the stage and hugged Putri Ariani. He told her that she was one of the best singers he had ever heard on the show and that he was going to give her something very special: his Golden Buzzer.
As Simon Cowell pressed the Golden Buzzer, confetti rained down on Putri Ariani and she was overcome with joy and gratitude. She thanked Simon Cowell and said that she was very happy and honored to receive his Golden Buzzer. She also said that she hoped to inspire other people with disabilities to follow their dreams.
What does this mean for Putri Ariani?
By getting Simon Cowell's Golden Buzzer, Putri Ariani has secured a spot in the live shows of America's Got Talent 2023. She will compete with other acts for the chance to win $1 million and a headline show in Las Vegas. She will also get more exposure and recognition from millions of viewers around the world who watch the show.
Putri Ariani has already captivated global viewers with her Golden Buzzer audition, which has gone viral on social media and earned praises from celebrities and politicians alike. She has also made Indonesia proud by representing her country on an international stage with her talent and spirit.
